In 2008, Russian television held a selection event called "The Greatest Russians", with Stalin in third place, behind Alexander Nevsky and Stolypin, followed by Pushkin, Peter the Great and Lenin. Through this data, it is clear that Stalin's position in the minds of the people of Russia and Eastern Europe.
This result is not surprising, after all, Stalin was the longest-ruling head of state in the Soviet Union, which deeply influenced the world pattern and development trend of the twentieth century, especially for China, and Chinese who know a little modern history can call this name. Until now, there are still many people who maintain awe and enthusiasm for this "bearded man".
The thing that best reflects this Sino-Russian friendship is that on Stalin's 70th birthday in 1949, a series of commemorative albums sent to Stalin by Chinese artists such as Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, Wu Zuoren, Mao Dun, and Tian Han. Among them, there are two hymns created by Guo Moruo, the brother of Wen Leopard.
The first song is called "Long live I shout to you", listening to this name is very domineering, but also very soft, as for where it is soft, everyone may have the answer after reading it. Although this is a birthday greeting to a national marshal and an elderly man, Guo Moruo's use of words is inevitably a bit too big, which may be his usual style, as written in "Tengu": "I swallowed the sun, I swallowed all the planets, I swallowed the whole universe." ”
Similarly, in this poem, he did not let go of the universe, "You are taking the life of the universe as the autumn, and you are taking the life of the universe as the spring." To be honest, these two small solutions really don't understand what they mean, but there are still indispensable romantic feelings. However, the universe obviously can no longer satisfy Guo Moruo's praise, so he has created a new situation of praise.
The universe is objective and without emotion, so the clever Guo Moruo dedicates an emotional "all of humanity" to highlight his expression. "You are the liberator of all mankind", "The life of the working people of the whole world, the life of all mankind"...
Guo Moruo's self-destructive praise method of vowing to speak to the end is simply speechless, and Xiao Xie does not know that his life was once replaced by Stalin by Guo Moruo in 1949. I just don't know how those old European and American capitals feel when they see this poem, and how those poor people in Latin Africa who can't beat the edge of the eight rods feel.
Two more sentences that caught my attention were: "You stood with the whole audience for five hours, what an amazing health and perseverance!" ”
Er, how many rare old people with white sideburns still have on the land of China who work in the fields every day from morning to old age; er, how many people who suffer in the depths of suffering need health and food instead of listening to the joys and pleasures of Wen Leopard. This small detail that Guo Moruo grasped made me feel emotional, and it was easy for me to think that the words of praise could also be said like this: My dear boss, you can drink a bottle of water in one breath, what an amazing belly, it is really powerful!
After the spit is over, the advantages cannot be left behind. I have to say that Guo Moruo's imagination is full and abundant, such as the age of geology and astronomy in the second paragraph, the number of seven hundred trillion Ganges sand in the third paragraph, dialectical materialism and historical materialism in the fourth paragraph, and the second period in the two ice oceans and the Sahara Desert in the fifth paragraph...
Regardless of your heavens and the earth, whether it is in the fire in the water, or whether it is scientific superstition, as long as it can be put on the side, it is all written by Guo Moruo, so that the imagination and image operation ability that comes from hand are simply convincing. It just feels that the direction of this force is a little off, a bit of a hound with a ox cart feeling, not very coordinated.
The second is called "Long Live Stalin."
In this poem, Guo Moruo also shows his imagination of heaven, sea, heaven and earth, incomparable, and marginal, one will be the fate of mankind, one will be the natural sequence, one will be the cause of Datong, and the other will be dear steel. However, this steel is correct, because Stalin in Russian means steel.
This poem not only reflects Guo Moruo's exaggerated and over-clever writing style, but also reflects the common literati atmosphere of that era, such as the sun, long live, human beings, career, etc., which are all common words used by the literati of that era. The poet Ai Qing also wrote a poem "Dedicated to Stalin" with a strong taste, in which one of the sentences read: "Stalin's merits are more than the sun in the sky; Stalin's cause has brought glory to the people!" "Comparable to Guo Shi.
On the whole, the second song is more gentle than the first, the artistic atmosphere is slightly stronger, not as abrupt as the first, and the emotional catharsis is not so embarrassing and straightforward. However, two consecutive "long live" is still easy to make people play. Well, today's two poems are like this, how do you feel at this moment, do you think that Professor Jia Qianqian's poems can be read?
